Nonprofit News Sources
Where do you get your news about nonprofits and charity? We monitor several sources, including some free, online sources that bring us news and comment from around the world.
Both Yahoo! and Google offer news content on their sites. Even better, you can sign up to get free e-mail updates based on specific keywords you choose. This quick access to online news can be tailored to your specific interest and schedule.
These e-mail updates can supplement resources such as e-zines from The Chronicle of Philanthropy and The NonProfit Times (NPT).
Don't forget about the burgeoning universe of Internet-based discussion groups dedicated to charities and nonprofits. In addition to conversation and occasional dispute, members of these forums are often the first to find, post, and comment on breaking news stories
For CEOs -- Six Characteristics of Good CEO/Board Relationships
The title may be Director, Executive Director, Executive Secretary, Executive Vice President, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), or something else like Exalted Ruler. Whatever they're called, the lead staff person for your nonprofit has a special responsibility within the organization -- to work with and be responsive to the organization's board of directors. We've listed six tips to help this person make the most of the board/executive partnership.
Book Review -- Making the Case
I like Jerold Panas's writing style. It's concise and entertaining while delivering great messages. This book does an excellent job of addressing two seemingly paradoxical points. First, he asserts writing, and especially writing case statements for fund raising campaigns, is hard work. Second, he then proceeds to provide the reader with the necessary support, tools, and guidance to make this hard work a lot easier.
